Story: Firefox flaw made public

It appears to me that this article has been run without proof, or at least checking to see if this actually happens. I am currently running "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6" and can not reproduce this "flaw". I even tried adding several lines of "dashes" and still could not reproduce this supposed "flaw", maybe that is why the Mozilla Firefox team is ignoring him. I am using the Binary Version from the main website, I did not compile the version myself, so maybe that could be a cause for the "flaw", and that could be caused by the user setting incorrect options in .config or the makefile. Just a guess.
I'll repeat one thing frrom appove, "" did nothing to my 1.0.6 Firefox browser, I even tried adding "Click Me". The only behaviour from this that I encountered was getting a google page searching for "--------------------------".
I'd really like to see others post and explain any behavior they encountered with their browser.
